| I'm not sure that I explained about the 'faking' emotions very well. It is how I have learnt to look and speak like I am feeling the emotion rather than actually feeling it. It took me a long time to even realize I was doing it. Now I am aware of when I do it but sometimes can't stop it because it's... |

| Wow! So many different replies. I gather from them all that sympathy is understanding how a person feels while empathy is feeling how the person feels. No wonder I have so much trouble with these concepts. I have always felt like there are two people in me. One who is logical and well advanced intel... |

| ...most NTs don't even think about such topics. Really? I have only just learnt that I think differently. I have been asked to give examples of ways I think or feel differently and I can't because I have no idea how others think or feel. I now see a very good counsellor who really understands this. ... |

| One question at a time, so I am told. 1. I still can't work out the difference between empathy and sympathy. I have always thought that I empathized. But I have found out that I am so far off the mark that I don't think I will ever understand other peoples feelings. With me it is black and white. I ... |

I have been a city dweller most of my life. I like to sit at a beach. I am finding the city noises, especially ... |

| My best friend called my lazy. She is no longer my best friend. The appearance of laziness is a problem with autistics for two reasons. We continually process everything so our brains are always running on high booster, which takes a lot of energy, thus we are always tired. And secondly, we have so ... |

| If Autism isn't an 'advancement' in evolution, then it is certainly a new culture. Autistics are better at specialization, which is a new concept in every culture. No longer are we able to learn everything there is to know, which was a possiblity a century ago. As technology and knowledge have grown... |

| Just wanted to say hello. I am told it is right thing to do. I'm near Brisbane, Qld. Absolutely no autism or asperger's support here. Hearts and Minds in Brisbane is just too expensive for me.
